The present invention relates to waterborne coating compositions containing metallic pigments which are normally reactive with water or moisture to release hydrogen gas, stabilized against gassing by addition of certain N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonates to these waterborne coating compositions, and to the N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonate gassing inhibitors themselves.
Automotive coatings containing metallic pigments such as aluminum flake are generally used to obtain the glossy lustrous appearance which is currently in-demand in the automotive market. There has been a effort in the automotive industry to reduce atmospheric pollution due to volatile solvents emitted during the painting process without sacrificing the appearance of the coating system. One approach to this end has been to develop waterborne coating compositions. Waterborne coating compositions, however, are not without disadvantages. For example, aluminum flakes which are used in metallic paints react with water and release hydrogen gas, resulting in unstable compositions.
Prior art efforts to minimize this aluminum-water reaction include treatment processes such as solvent and chromium treatments that render the aluminum surface substantially inert. Chromium treated aluminum pigments are available from Obron Atlantic Corporation under the trademark Stapa Hydrolux. Coatings made with chromium treated aluminum flake pigment are stable with respect to gassing, but the treated aluminum pigment is very expensive.
U. S. Pat. Nos. 5,034,556 and 5,091,451 disclose reaction products of alpha-aminomethylene phosphonic acids and epoxy compounds and their use in metallic pigment-containing aqueous coating compositions as gassing inhibitors. However, these coating compositions, although essentially non-gassing, exhibit marginal pump stability; that is, the high shear stresses to which the composition is subjected during pumping through equipment cause the composition to break down somewhat, losing some of its rheological properties. The resulting coating has poor appearance properties.
U. S. Pat. No. 4,621,112 discloses reaction products of orthophosphoric acid and monoesters thereof with epoxy compounds and their use in metallic pigment-containing coating compositions as gassing inhibitors. However, such compositions exhibit only marginal gassing resistance.
British Patent 1380675 discloses N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonates and their use as flame proofing agents. The British reference does not teach nor suggest the use of such compounds in waterborne coating compositions as gassing inhibitors.
It would be desirable to provide a waterborne coating composition containing metallic pigments which is stabilized against gassing by including an inexpensive organic additive which does not make the coating composition shear sensitive, so as to result in good pump stability.

The relative molar proportions in which the aldehyde and amine are reacted together to form the imine of (i) are typically 1:1.
The imine of (i) is reacted with the phosphorous acid of (ii) to yield a material having the following general structure: ##STR11## where R1 and R2 are as defined above. This material is further reacted with an anhydride, lactone, or monoisocyanate, forming an N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonic acid.

The addition polymer may be a homopolymer of any of these hydroxyl or epoxy functional monomers, but preferably it is a copolymer of one or more of these hydroxyl or epoxy functional monomers and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer which is not hydroxyl or epoxy functional. Examples of these other monomers include methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, styrene, and vinyl monomers such as vinyl toluene and vinyl acetate.
The preferred polymers are hydroxyl functional addition polymers and are copolymers of styrene and allyl alcohol such as those available from ARCO Chemical Company as RJ-100 or copolymers of styrene and hydroxyethyl acrylate such as those available from Pyramid Chemical Company as RJ-100 Equivalent.
When the material of (iv) is a hydroxyl group-containing polymer, N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonates of the following structure are formed: ##STR20## where R1, R2, and R5 are as described above. A hydroxyl group from the polymer condenses with an acidic hydrogen from the ##STR21## group associated with the N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonic acid, forming a phosphonic acid ester. Such N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonates have been shown to improve the intercoat adhesion of waterborne coating compositions when the coating compositions are applied to a substrate as a pigmented or colored base coat to which is applied a clear top coat.
The relative proportions in which the imine of (i), the phosphorous acid of (ii), the anhydride, lactone, or monoisocyanate of (iii) and the hydroxyl group-containing or epoxy group-containing polymer of (iv) are reacted together to form an N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonate of the present invention may vary widely, depending on the various components being reacted together. Typically the molar ratio is about 1:1:1:2.5. When the material of (iv) is a hydroxyl group-containing addition polymer, the ratio of moles of hydroxyl groups to moles of acidic hydrogen from the phosphonic acid group are in a range of from 5:1 to 0.5:1, preferably 2:1 to 1:1. It should be understood that, in the case where the reactants are polyfunctional, the reaction product is likely to be a statistical mixture of a number of different molecular species.
The reaction of the imine of (i), the phosphorous acid of (ii), the anhydride, lactone, or monoisocyanate of (iii) and the hydroxyl group-containing or epoxy group-containing polymer of (iv) may be conducted at a temperature in the range of, for example, from about 25°C to about 150°C, typically in a range from about 80°C to about 120°C Preferably the imine of (i) is added to the phosphorous acid, followed by addition of the anhydride, lactone, or monoisocyanate of (iii) to form an N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonic acid. This reaction product is further reacted with the hydroxyl group-containing or epoxy group-containing polymer of (iv). Where desired, a catalyst for opening an epoxide ring such as a tertiary amine may be employed in the reaction of the N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonic acid and the epoxy group-containing polymer. In order to maintain fluidity of the reaction mixture, it may be advantageous to conduct the reaction in an inert, polar diluent or solvent such as 1-methoxy-2-propanol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and the like. Where a polar diluent or solvent is used, the reaction may be conveniently conducted at the reflux temperature of the diluent or solvent.
It has been found that incorporation of an N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonic acid or phosphonate of the present invention into a waterborne coating composition containing metallic pigment reduces or prevents gassing of the coating composition and aids in intercoat adhesion and humidity resistance when the waterborne coating composition is applied to a substrate. A waterborne coating composition of the present invention comprises a film-forming polymer, metallic pigment, an aqueous diluent medium, and an N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonate (including N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonic acid) as described above. The tendency of the pigment to react with the aqueous medium and release hydrogen gas is prevented or reduced by incorporation of an effective amount of the N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonate.
The metallic pigments used in the waterborne coating composition of the present invention include any metallic pigments which are generally used in pigmented waterborne coating compositions. Examples include metallic pigments, particularly metallic flake pigments, composed of aluminum, copper, zinc and/or brass as well as those composed of other malleable metals and alloys such as nickel, tin, silver, chrome, aluminum-copper alloy, aluminum-zinc alloy, and aluminum-magnesium alloy. Metal oxide coated mica is also included in the definition of metallic pigment. Of the aforesaid examples, aluminum flake pigment is preferred.
Various procedures may be used to incorporate an N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonate of the present invention into a waterborne coating composition of the present invention. The metallic pigment may be brought into contact with the N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonate prior to the incorporation of the pigment into the waterborne coating composition. This may be done by adding the N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonate to the pigment paste, or it may be added earlier such as during production of the pigment. Alternatively, the N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonate may be introduced into a waterborne coating composition by simply introducing it as an additional ingredient of the waterborne coating formulation, for example, during the mixing of the film-forming polymer, metallic pigment and aqueous diluent medium along with other conventional and optional ingredients such as crosslinking agents, cosolvents, thickeners, and fillers. The amount of N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonate present in the coating composition is sufficient to reduce or eliminate gassing of the metallic pigment in the aqueous medium. Typically an amount from about 1.5 to 7.0 percent by weight, usually from about 2.0 to 4.5 percent by weight, based on the weight of resin solids, is used.
The film-forming polymer can be any film-forming polymer used in waterborne coating compositions. Suitable polymers are acrylic polymers, polyesters, including alkyds, and polyurethanes.
The acrylic polymers are copolymers of one or more alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid optionally together with one or more other polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers. These polymers may be either of the thermoplastic type or the thermosetting crosslinking type. Suitable alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid include methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, and 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate. Other suitable copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers include vinyl aromatic materials such as styrene and vinyl toluene; nitriles such as acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile; vinyl and vinylidene halides such as vinyl chloride and vinylidene fluoride and vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate. Preparation of the acrylic polymers via aqueous emulsion polymerization techniques as are customary in the art is suitable.
Where the polymer is of the crosslinking type, suitable functional monomers may be used in addition to the other acrylic monomers mentioned above and include, for example, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, hydroxyalkyl acrylates, and hydroxyalkyl methacrylates. The coating composition in such cases contains a crosslinking agent such as an aminoplast. Other crosslinking agents such as polyisocyanates including blocked polyisocyanates may also be used. Also, the acrylic polymer can be prepared with N-(alkoxymethyl)acrylamides and N-(alkoxymethyl)methacrylamides which result in self-crosslinking acrylic polymers.
Besides acrylic polymers, the film-forming polymer for the coating composition may be an alkyd resin or a polyester. Such polymers may be prepared in a known manner by condensation of polyhydric alcohols and polycarboxylic acids. Suitable polyhydric alcohols include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, 1,6-hexylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, diethylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylol propane, and pentaerythritol.
Suitable polycarboxylic acids include succinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, phthalic acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, hexahydrophthalic acid, and trimellitic acid. Besides the polycarboxylic acids mentioned above, functional equivalents of the acids such as anhydrides where they exist or lower alkyl esters of the acids such as the methyl esters may be used.
Where it is desired to produce air-drying alkyd resins, suitable drying oil fatty acids may be used and include those derived from linseed oil, soya bean oil, tall oil, dehydrated castor oil, or tung oil.
The polyesters and preferably the alkyd resins contain a portion of free hydroxyl and/or carboxyl groups which are available for further crosslinking reactions. Suitable crosslinking agents are the amine or amide-aldehyde condensates (aminoplasts) or the polyisocyanate curing agents as are well known in the art.
Polyurethanes can also be used as the film-forming polymer of the coating composition. Among the polyurethanes which can be used are polymeric polyols which are prepared by reacting the polyester polyols or acrylic polyols such as those mentioned above with a polyisocyanate such that the OH/NCO equivalent ratio is greater than 1:1 so that free hydroxyl groups are present in the product.
The organic polyisocyanate which is used to prepare the polyurethane polyol can be an aliphatic or an aromatic polyisocyanate or a mixture of the two. Diisocyanates are preferred, although higher polyisocyanates can be used in place of or in combination with diisocyanates.
Examples of suitable aromatic diisocyanates are 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and toluene diisocyanate. Examples of suitable aliphatic diisocyanates are straight chain aliphatic diisocyanates such as 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate. Also, cycloaliphatic diisocyanates can be employed. Examples include isophorone diisocyanate and 4,4'-methylene-bis-(cyclohexyl isocyanate). Examples of suitable higher polyisocyanates are 1,2,4-benzene triisocyanate and polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate.
Waterborne coating compositions used as colored base coats in color-plus-clear compositions are disclosed in U. S. Pat. No. 4,403,003, and the film-forming polymers used in preparing these base coats can be used as the waterborne coating composition of the present invention. Also, water-based polyurethanes such as those prepared in accordance with U. S. Pat. No. 4,147,679 can be used as the film-forming polymer in the waterborne coating compositions of the present invention. Further, it is possible to prepare an aqueous dispersion of a blend of acrylic and polyester and/or polyurethane materials in microparticulate form by a high stress technique using a homogenizer such as is described in U. S. Pat. No. 5,071,904. These polymers may also be used as the film-forming polymers in the waterborne coating composition of the present invention, and are preferred.
The coating composition may also include an aminoplast crosslinking agent containing methylol and/or methylol ether groups. Aminoplast condensates are obtained from the reaction of formaldehyde with an amine or amide. The most common amines or amides are melamine, urea, or benzoguanamine, and are preferred. However, condensates with other amines or amides can be used; for example, aldehyde condensates of glycoluril. While the aldehyde used is most often formaldehyde, other aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, and benzaldehyde may be used.
The aminoplast contains methylol groups and preferably at least a portion of these groups are etherified with an alcohol to modify the cure response. Any monohydric alcohol may be employed for this purpose including methanol, ethanol, butanol, and hexanol.
Preferably, the aminoplasts which are used are melamine-, urea-, or benzoguanamine-formaldehyde condensates etherified with an alcohol containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The aminoplast is present in amounts of about 1 to 80, preferably 10 to 50 percent by weight based on weight of resin solids in the clear film-forming composition; i.e., resin solids in the film-forming composition that are present as a pigment grind vehicle are not included in this weight ratio.
The film-forming composition will also preferably contain catalysts to accelerate the cure of the aminoplast and crosslinkable groups. Examples of suitable catalysts are acidic materials and include sulfonic acid or a substituted sulfonic acid such as paratoluene sulfonic acid. The catalyst is usually present in an amount of about 0.5 to 5.0 percent by weight, preferably about 1 to 2 percent by weight, based on weight of total resin solids. Optional ingredients such as, for example, plasticizers, surfactants, flow control agents, thixotropic agents, fillers, organic cosolvents, antioxidants, UV light absorbers and similar additives conventional in the art may be included in the composition. These ingredients are typically present at up to 25% by weight based on total resin solids.
The waterborne coating composition of the present invention may be used as the colored base coat to which is applied a clear top coat in a color-plus-clear composite coating.
The waterborne coating composition may be applied to a substrate by any conventional coating technique such as brushing, spraying, dipping or flowing, but spray applications are preferred because of superior gloss. Any of the known spraying techniques may be employed such as compressed air spraying, electrostatic spraying and either manual or automatic methods. When the waterborne coating composition is used as a base coat, a topcoat or clear coat may be applied to the base coat after the previously applied coat is flashed; that is, exposed to ambient conditions for about 1 to 20 minutes. Also, more than one base coat and multiple top coats may be applied to develop the optimum appearance.
After application of the coating composition, the coated substrate is heated to cure the coating. In the curing operation, solvents are driven off and the film-forming material of the coating is crosslinked. The heating or curing operation is usually carried out at a temperature in the range of from 160°-350° F. (71°-177°C) but if needed, lower or higher temperatures may be used as necessary to activate crosslinking mechanisms. The thickness of the coating is usually from about 0.5-5, preferably 1.2-3 mils (30.48 to 76.2 microns).
The invention will further be described by reference to the following examples. Unless otherwise indicated, all parts are by weight.
The following examples (1-5) show the preparation of various benzaldehyde imine derivatives. Examples 6-12 show the use of these derivatives in preparing various N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonates, and examples 14-20 show the use of these N-acyl aminomethylene phosphonates as gassing inhibitors in aluminum pigment-containing waterborne coating compositions. For the purpose of comparison a waterborne base coat containing chrome-treated aluminum pigment to inhibit gassing is evaluated in example 13, as are two waterborne aluminum pigment-containing coating compositions containing gassing inhibitors of the prior art (examples 21 and 22). A waterborne aluminum pigment containing coating composition with no gassing inhibitors is also included (example 23) for comparative purposes.

The base coat compositions of Examples 13 to 23 were tested for gassing resistance as follows: The base coats were loaded into Erlenmeyer flasks immersed in a constant temperature bath (40°C). Tubes connected the individual flasks to inverted gas burettes filled with water. The amount of gas evolved from each base coat was measured for seven days in milliliters by the displacement of water in the burette.
The base coats were spray applied in two coats to electrocoated steel panels at a temperature of about 75° F. (23.9°C) and a relative humidity of about 60%. A ninety second flash time was allowed between the two base coat applications. After the second base coat application, a prebake time of approximately five minutes was allowed at 200° F. (93.3°C) before the application of an acid-cured polyepoxy clear coating composition available from PPG Industries, Inc., as DIAMOND COAT. See U. S. Pat. No. 5,196,485. The clear coating composition was applied to a base coated panel in two coats with a ninety second flash at 75° F. (23.9°C) allowed between coats. The composite coating was allowed to air flash at 75° F. (23.9° C.) for ten to fifteen minutes and to flash at 140° F. (60° C.) for ten to fifteen minutes before heating to 285° F. (140.6°C) for 30 minutes to cure both the base coat and clear coat. The panels were cured in a horizontal position.
The cured film was evaluated for gloss, distinctness of image (DOI), and cross-hatch adhesion both initially after cure and after humidity testing.
Gloss was measured at a 20° angle with a Glossmeter commercially available from Hunter Lab.
DOI was measured with a Glow Box Model GB11-87 commercially available from I2 R in Cheltenham, Penn.
The humidity resistance of the coated panels was tested by keeping the coated panels in a humidity chamber operating at 100 percent relative humidity for 120 hours at 120° F. (48.9°C).
Intercoat adhesion was measured using test method ASTM D 3359 with a paint adhesion test kit commercially available from Paul N. Gardner Company, Inc., by scribing a coated substrate with a "cross-hatch" pattern and securely applying a piece of adhesive tape onto the scribe. The tape was then removed and the substrate examined for removal of the coating layers. A rating is given based on the area and layers of coating material removed by the tape, ranging from 0 ("complete failure of coatings") to 5 ("no removal").
The properties of the coatings of Examples 13 to 23 are reported in Tables I and II below. Table II reports properties before/after humidity testing.
